The murder of Ramone Hayden remains unsolved in the city of Cincinnati. Hayden was gunned down on Queen City near Westwood Avenue just after 9 a.m. on June 25th 2013. His mother, Sonia Holley, remembers the haunting call telling her that her son had been shot.

"I had just talked to him five minutes prior to the murder. I told him I loved him," Holley said.

For Sonia Holley, this fifth anniversary of her son's death leaves her heartbroken. She remembers every moment of that painful day as clearly as Ramone's pictures on the wall.

"By the time I got the west side, the ambulance had already taken him. He was shot sitting in his truck," she said.

The days have been long over these five years, but justice still hasn't come. Holley says she is still trying to make peace with the death.

"It's not easy; (I) do a lot of praying and reading the Bible. That's all I got," she said.

Her grandson Cory and other grandchildren have grown up without a father.

Cory looks to the pictures of his father often. "I miss him. I wish he was there when I played football. He never got to see me play any sports," he said.

Cory, like the other children, is too young to remember his father before the murder. The photos in the family home form his only memories. Ms. Holley says the memories linger and are never forgotten. She says the pain can only be healed when someone comes forward.
